sorority connections??

Legacy? over the top beautiful? I would say that if this post is true you are in the 1%. Good luck in your sisterhood. You should play the lottery.
I had highest GPA possible and great resume filled with elected positions and popular activities. Volunteer hours and activities and church activities and clean reputation and lots of friends. Couldn't be a much better candidate for sisterhood or friend. Had all recommendations. Well dressed, very pretty and can hold interesting conversations. My best friend from the tent had the same or better. Others were prettier but lower gpa, or not quite as attractive but had an amazing personality to fill a room and yet we were all dropped and ended up in lower houses. Roommate and pledge sisters are all similar. Great grades, recommendations, clean reputations, very pretty, tons of activities, all very social and easy to talk to, and ALL in lower houses that were not interested in during rush. We all were from OOS and out of the South and it feels like we never really had a chance at all. Interesting, friendly, good looking,fun girls all rejected. It is great that a few outliers got through and I hope that you are accepted in your house as equal to the connected girls.
Just want PNMs to know that they have no control over the process and it is random placement. The saying you land where you belong is a joke, it should be bloom where you are planted instead because it is done without regard for what 2,000+ girls want and know what they will bring to a house. The whole process is fixed. No chance the minute we signed up. I wish someone had gone on the rush fb page or here on GR and told us all that it really didn't matter what shoes, what dress, what shade for nails, none of it matters at all. We met rush chairs and were ushered out last. They smiled and sold their houses and we chatted and connected and bought what they were selling. In reality, we never had a chance. The mean girl in the tent who talked behind the RhoChi back and complained about everything, she went OR. The girl who always had to one up everyone, not very attractive but was better than everyone and everything oh, and a legacy she preffed her legacy house. All of the actual girls you would want to be friends with they are in your middle and low tier houses. I am happy with my house but it would have been easier and the same outcome if it was like college acceptance, just send in your resume and head shot and recommendations and wait for your placement. Then we could accept or pass. This signing legal documents holding us to decisions that were never ours in the first place after giving the impression that if our grades were ok and we were popular and pretty and jumped through the hoops of recommendations and clothing we would be ok and find our place. It is a lie. We now realize our place just fine, the place you put us whether we fit or not, and now you will all spend time pushing us down and telling us what losers we are. roll tide

I agree with you, and want to add another observation for the poster @really. Since you can't really compare anything but looks and personality in a tent; it's subjective. Saying you were just as pretty or prettier depends on the house definition and your interpretation.
You may think you're prettier, but if you look insta fabulous instead of girl next door, then you have the wrong look for some houses. You may like a look that you think makes you "hot" while to some houses, you look anything but.
My point is to try not to be angry over where you land or feel like the system was rigged against you. It is like a job interview, and once you've gone through on the other side, you'll see how brutal making cuts can be. My bet is that it will soften your anger some.

Your hours are good. Don't worry about stuff you cannot control. Looks like you are doing all you can. If there are any Bama sorority actives from your community, try to reach out to them in some way either directly or through moms or friends or teachers. If you know you are going to Bama and are going to go through recruitment, you can use that as an ice breaker and ask for advice. Ask what you asked on here. Ask for recommendation on rec package pictures photographers, and whatnot.
